Matterwiki, setting up a Wiki for our company

Starting from the good objective of each one (and each company), We know that we have to have documented everything we can, avoiding having it in our head or when a technician leaves us do not leave us with vital information, yes or yes we all have to document. So what I said, I leave you Matterwiki, which is nothing more than a super simple Wiki, we can use it as a repository and store all our How To's, Tricks, Notes…

Collecting Windows metrics in Elasticsearch with Metricbeat and visualizing with Grafana

In this post, we'll look at another of Elasticsearch's wonderful components, within the Beats packages we will also find a utility that will help us to process and collect metrics from our Windows or Linux computers, known as Metricbeat. We will see how to export these metrics to Logstash to process them and store them in Elasticsearch to later visualize them with Kibana or Grafana!

Installing FOG

This post is good for all those who have the need to deploy teams on a massive scale, FOG Project is a tool that remotely deploys computer images, Ideal for enterprise-type scenarios, colleges or universities where in less than 10 minutes we can deploy 40 Equipment, 60, 80… In this first post we will look at the installation of FOG!

Monitoring a Linux computer with Centreon, example with a Raspberry Pi + Temperature of your CPU

I'm going to put this post because of all the requests I've been receiving on how to monitor a Linux server. As obviously depends on the distribution, today we have an example with a Debian and more specifically we will see it on a Raspberry Pi that carries Raspbian. We'll monitor basic metrics like CPU, RAM, Swap Memory, Disks, Network Traffic, Uptime… And in the end we will see something very interesting!

Nagios – Monitoring active processes on Windows or Linux

Very good! I leave you with a document that will be of help to us as long as we want to verify that we have a program running on any computer in our organization. We will see the necessary steps to be able to monitor if a remote computer, whether Windows or Linux, has any process running, and alert us in case of its fall. In addition, if we are interested, we could monitor its CPU or RAM consumption., all this only through SNMP!

Nagstamon

One of the great utilities that we usually have installed to control our environment in real time is Nagstamon, This app installed at our kiosks, it will notify us when any monitoring item generates an alert. Integrates seamlessly into the Windows taskbar or anywhere in the workstation, also on computers with MacOS or Linux! We can use it to bypass email alerts if we are interested!

Nagios – Monitoring with NRPE

Well, Well… Let's put a little more txitxa in our Nagios, Centreon or whatever we got, We will continue with something very interesting for those who want to monitor more advanced items! We will use a small agent that will be installed on remote Windows or Linux computers, For what? Well, among other things, to execute scripts on these computers. We can run any PowerShell script, Batch, VBScript, Perl… and then read the result of the command and discuss it with Nagios!
